AMATEM Forte Softgel 20/120

AMATEM Forte Softgel 20/120 by 12 is an effective anti-malaria medication containing a potent combination of artemether and lumefantrine, both of which work together to combat malaria by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells.

Composition and Mode of Action

AMATEM Forte Softgel consists of two active ingredients, each with its specific function and mode of action:

• Artemether: A fast-acting derivative of artemisinin, artemether rapidly targets the malaria parasite, breaking down its cell membrane and killing it. This ingredient provides quick relief from the symptoms of malaria.
• Lumefantrine: This longer-acting ingredient works by inhibiting the formation of hemozoin, a substance that the malaria parasite produces to protect itself from the toxic effects of free heme. Without hemozoin, the parasite cannot survive, leading to its eventual death.

AMATEM Softgel Dosage

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions and the prescription label for the correct dosage of AMATEM Softgel. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the effective eradication of the malaria parasite.

AMATEM Softgel in Pregnancy

Consult your healthcare provider before using AMATEM Softgel if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. The safety of this medication during pregnancy has not been fully established, and it should only be used when the potential benefits outweigh the risks.

Side Effects

Some side effects of AMATEM Softgel may include headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and weakness. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
